September 3-5, 2010

The ICMAC Second Annual Las Vegas Chinese Martial Arts Championship held the weekend of August 7/9, 2009 at the Tuscany Suites & Casino in the exciting city of Las Vegas, Nevada was a resounding success.

Despite the economic downturn, over 400 competitors participated in this year's event. Many new schools were in attendance and the championship is establishing a solid foothold and we are confident that the event will continue to grow each year. 

This was the second stop on our 2009 Chinese Martial Arts Championship Circuit and it provided competitors the opportunity to build points towards the National Titles.   

The Las Vegas Championship is a great opportunity for our West Coast friends to get involved with the circuit. Next year we have a tournament scheduled in San Diego, California, over the weekend of January 22/24, 2010. (Please visit the San Diego page for more information.) With the addition of San Diego, West Coast competitors will have two A Rated events that will facilitate their participation in the circuit. 

Remember that placements from First through Tenth will be posted on our ratings page and published in Inside Kung-Fu. Accumulated points for all championships will be added to establish "Top 10 Rating" and "National Titles" for the 2009 competition season.

We want to thank all the SIfus, coaches, competitors and volunteers for their support. A special thank you goes to all the parents for their efforts in bringing their children to the competition.

Please keep visiting this page for updates and don’t miss the National Finals in Washington, DC in October of 2009.

With gratitude.
